Reading the Owner's Manual
Introduction A good way of getting to know your new car is to read the owner's manual, ideally before your first journey. This will give you the opportunity to familiarise yourself with new functions, to see how best to handle the car in different sit- uations, and to make the best use of all the car's features. Please pay attention to the safety instructions contained in the manual. The specifications, design features and illus- trations in this owner's manual are not binding. We reserve the right to make modifications without prior notice. © Volvo Car Corporation
Option All types of option/accessory are marked with an asterisk*. In addition to standard equipment, this manual also describes options (factory fitted equip- ment) and certain accessories (retrofitted extra equipment). The equipment described in the owner's man- ual is not available in all cars - they have dif- ferent equipment depending on adaptations for the needs of different markets and national or local laws and regulations.
In the event of uncertainty over what is stand- ard or an option/accessory, contact a Volvo dealer.

Introduction
Important information
Procedure lists Procedures where action must be taken in a certain sequence are numbered in the owner's manual.
When there is a series of illustrations for step-by-step instructions each step is numbered in the same way as the corres- ponding illustration. There are numbered lists with letters adja- cent to the series of illustrations where the order of the instructions is not significant. Arrows appear numbered and unnum- bered and are used to illustrate a move- ment. Arrows with letters are used to clarify a movement when the reciprocal order is of no relevance.
If there is no series of illustrations for step-by- step instructions then the different steps are numbered with normal numbers.
Position lists
Red circles containing a number are used in overview images where different com- ponents are pointed out. The number recurs in the position list featured in con- nection with the illustration that describes the item.

Bulleted lists A bulleted list is used when there is a list of points in the owner's manual. Example: • Coolant • Engine oil To be continued ``` This symbol is located furthest down to the right when a section continues on the following page.
Recording data Your vehicle contains a number of computers whose function is to continuously check and monitor the vehicle's operation and function- ality. Some of the computers can record infor- mation during normal driving if they detect an error. In addition, information is recorded in the event of a collision or incident. Parts of the recorded information are required so that tech- nicians can diagnose and rectify faults in the vehicle during servicing and maintenance and so that Volvo can fulfil legal requirements and other regulations. In addition to this, the infor- mation is used for research purposes by Volvo in order to continually develop quality and safety, as the information can contribute to a better understanding of the factors that cause accidents and injuries. The information
includes details of the status and functionality of various systems and modules in the vehicle with regard to engine, throttle, steering and brake systems, amongst other things. This information may include details regarding the way the driver drives the vehicle, such as vehi- cle speed, brake and accelerator pedal use, steering wheel movement and whether or not the driver and passengers have used their seatbelts. For the reasons given this informa- tion may be stored in the vehicle's computers for a certain length of time, but also as a result of a collision or incident. This information may be stored by Volvo as long as it can help to further develop and further enhance safety and quality and as long as there are legal require- ments and other regulations that Volvo needs to consider. Volvo will not contribute to the above-descri- bed information being disclosed to third parties without the vehicle owner's consent. However, due to national legislation and regulations Volvo may be required to disclose such infor- mation to authorities such as police authorities, or others who may assert a legal right to have access to it. To be able to read and interpret the information recorded by the computers in the vehicle requires special technical equipment that Volvo, and workshops that have entered into agreements with Volvo, have access to. Volvo
is responsible that the information, which is transferred to Volvo during servicing and main- tenance, is stored and handled in a secure manner and that the handling complies with applicable legal requirements. For further infor- mation - contact a Volvo dealer.
Accessories and extra equipment The incorrect connection and installation of accessories can negatively affect the car's electrical system. Certain accessories only function when their associated software is installed in the car's computer system. Volvo therefore recommends that you always con- tact an authorised Volvo workshop before installing accessories which are connected to or affect the electrical system.
Change of ownership for cars with Volvo On Call* Volvo On Call is a supplemental service that consists of safety, security and comfort serv- ices. If the car has Volvo On Call and there is a change of owner, it is very important that these services are discontinued so that the former owner cannot access the services in the car. Contact the call centre by pressing the ON CALL button in the car or contact an author- ised Volvo workshop. See also "Changing the security code" in the owner's manual for Volvo On Call.

Important information
WARNING
If any of these instructions are not followed then there is a risk of eye injury! • Never look into the laser sensor (which emits spreading invisible laser radiation) at a distance of 100 mm or closer with magnifying optics such as a magnifying glass, microscope, lens or similar opti- cal instruments.
• Testing, repair, removal, adjustment and/or replacement of the laser sen- sor's spare parts must only be carried out by a qualified workshop - we rec- ommend an authorised Volvo work- shop.
• To avoid exposure to harmful radiation, do not carry out any readjustments or maintenance other than those specified here.
• The repairer must follow specially
drawn up workshop information for the laser sensor.
• Do not remove the laser sensor (this
includes removing the lenses). A removed laser sensor does not fulfil laser class 3B as per standard IEC 60825-1. Laser class 3B is not eye-safe and therefore entails a risk of injury.
Introduction
Important information
• The laser sensor's connector must be
unplugged before removal from the windscreen.
• The laser sensor must be fitted onto the
windscreen before the sensor's con- nector is plugged in.
• The laser sensor transmits laser light
when the remote control key is in posi- tion II and also with the engine switched off (see page 78 on key positions).
For more information on the laser sensor, see page 168.

Volvo Cars' environmental philosophy
Introduction
Volvo and the environment
Environmental care is one of Volvo Car Corpo- ration's core values which influence all opera- tions. We also believe that our customers share our consideration for the environment. Your Volvo complies with strict international environmental standards and is also manufac- tured in one of the cleanest and most resource- efficient plants in the world. Volvo Car Corpo- ration has global ISO certification, which includes the environmental standard ISO 14001 covering all factories and several of our other units. We also set requirements for our partners so that they work systematically with environmental issues.
Fuel consumption Volvo cars have competitive fuel consumption in each of their respective classes. Lower fuel consumption generally results in lower emis- sion of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. It is possible for the driver to influence fuel con- sumption. For more information read under the heading, Reducing environmental impact.
Efficient emission control Your Volvo is manufactured following the con- cept "Clean inside and out" – a concept that encompasses a clean interior environment as well as highly efficient emission control. In
many cases the exhaust emissions are well below the applicable standards.
Clean air in the passenger compartment A passenger compartment filter prevents dust and pollen from entering the passenger com- partment via the air intake. A sophisticated air quality system, IAQS* (Inte- rior Air Quality System) ensures that the incom- ing air is cleaner than the air in the traffic out- side. The system consists of an electronic sensor and a carbon filter. The incoming air is moni- tored continuously and if there is an increase in

Volvo and the environment
the level of certain unhealthy gases such as carbon monoxide then the air intake is closed. Such a situation may arise in heavy traffic, queues and tunnels for example. The entry of nitrous oxides, ground-level ozone and hydrocarbons is prevented by the carbon filter.
Interior The interior of a Volvo is designed to be plea- sant and comfortable, even for people with contact allergies and for asthma sufferers. Extreme attention has been given to choosing environmentally-compatible materials.
Volvo workshops and the environment Regular maintenance creates the conditions for a long service life and low fuel consumption for your car. In this way you contribute to a cleaner environment. When Volvo's workshops are entrusted with the service and mainte- nance of your car it becomes part of our sys- tem. Volvo makes clear demands regarding the way in which our workshops are designed in order to prevent spills and discharges into the environment. Our workshop staff have the knowledge and the tools required to guarantee good environmental care.
Reducing environmental impact You can easily help reduce environmental impact - here are a few tips:
• Avoid letting the engine idle - switch off the engine when stationary for longer periods. Pay attention to local regulations. • Drive economically - think ahead. • Perform service and maintenance in
accordance with the owner's manual's instructions - follow the Service and War- ranty Booklet's recommended intervals.
• If the car is equipped with an engine block heater*, use it before starting from cold - it improves starting capacity and reduces wear in cold weather and the engine rea- ches normal operating temperature more quickly, which lowers consumption and reduces emissions.
• High speed increases consumption con- siderably due to increased wind resistance - a doubling of speed increases wind resis- tance 4 times.
• Always dispose of environmentally hazar- dous waste, such as batteries and oils, in an environmentally safe manner. Consult a workshop in the event of uncertainty about how this type of waste should be discarded - an authorised Volvo workshop is recom- mended.
Following this advice can save money, the planet's resources are saved, and the car's durability is extended. For more information and further advice, see the pages 284 and 384.

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Recycling As a part of Volvo's environmental work, it is important that the car is recycled in an envi- ronmentally sound manner. Almost all of the car can be recycled. The last owner of the car is therefore requested to contact a dealer for referral to a certified/approved recycling facility.
The owner's manual and the environment The Forest Stewardship Council(cid:159) symbol shows that the paper pulp in this publication comes from FSC(cid:159) certified forests or other controlled sources.

Seatbelts
General information
Correctly fitted seatbelt.
Incorrectly fitted seatbelt. The belt must rest on the shoulder.
Seatbelt height adjustment. Press the button and move the belt vertically. Position the belt as high as possible without it chafing against your throat. The buckles only fit the intended lock in the rear seat1.
Releasing the seatbelt Press the red button on the seatbelt buckle and then let the belt retract. If the seatbelt does not retract fully, feed it in by hand so that it does not hang loose. The seatbelt locks and cannot be with- drawn: • if it is pulled out too quickly • during braking and acceleration • if the car leans heavily.
Heavy braking can have serious consequences if the seatbelts are not used. Ensure that all passengers use their seatbelts. It is important that the seatbelt lies against the body so it can provide maximum protection. Do not lean the backrest too far back. The seatbelt is designed to protect in a normal seating position.
Putting on a seatbelt Pull the belt out slowly and secure it by press- ing its locking tab into the seatbelt buckle. A loud "click" indicates that the belt has locked.

Make sure that you: • do not use clips or anything else that can prevent the seatbelt from fitting properly • ensure that the seatbelt is not twisted or
caught on anything
• the hip strap must be positioned low down
(not over the abdomen)
• tension the hip strap over the lap by pulling the diagonal shoulder belt up towards the shoulder.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat- belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this may diminish the protection provided by the airbag in the event of a collision.
WARNING
Each seatbelt is designed for only one per- son.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seatbelts your- self. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop. If a seatbelt has been subjected to a major load, such as in conjunction with a collision, the entire seatbelt must be replaced. Some of the protective characteristics of the seat- belt may have been lost, even if it appears to be undamaged. In addition, replace the seatbelt if the belt is worn or damaged. The new seatbelt must be type-approved and intended for installation in the same position as the replaced seatbelt.

correct way. The diagonal section should wrap over the shoulder then be routed between the breasts and to the side of the abdomen. The lap section should lay flat over the thighs and as low as possible under the abdomen. – It must never be allowed to ride upward. Remove the slack from the seatbelt and ensure that it fits as close to the body as possible. In addition, check that there are no twists in the seatbelt. As the pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers should adjust their seats and steering wheel such that they can easily maintain control of the vehicle as they drive (which means that they must be able to easily operate the foot pedals and steering wheel). The aim should be to posi- tion the seat with as large a distance as possi- ble between abdomen and steering wheel.
The seatbelt should always be worn during pregnancy. But it is crucial that it be worn in the

Seatbelts
Seatbelt reminder
Unbelted occupants will be reminded to fasten their seatbelts by means of an audio and visual reminder. The audio reminder is speed dependent, and in some cases time depend- ent. The visual reminder is located in the roof console and the combined instrument panel. Child seats are not covered by the seatbelt reminder system.
18
Rear seat The seatbelt reminder in the rear seat has two subfunctions: • Provides information on which seatbelts
are being used in the rear seat. A message appears in the information display when the seatbelts are in use, or if one of the rear doors has been opened. The message is cleared automatically after driving for approximately 30 seconds or after press- ing the indicator stalk's OK button.
• Provides a warning if one of the rear seat-
belts is unfastened during travel. This warning takes the form of a message on the information display along with the audio/visual signal. The warning stops when the seatbelt is re-fastened, or it can also be acknowledged manually by press- ing the OK button.
The message on the information display show- ing which seatbelts are in use is always avail- able. Press the OK button to see stored mes- sages.
Certain markets An acoustic signal and indicator lamp remind the driver and front seat passenger to use a seatbelt if either of them is not wearing one. At low speed, the audio reminder will sound for the first 6 seconds.
Seatbelt tensioner All the seatbelts are equipped with belt ten- sioners. A mechanism in the seatbelt tensioner tightens the seatbelt in the event of a suffi- ciently violent collision. The seatbelt then pro- vides more effective restraint for the occu- pants.
WARNING
Never insert the tongue of the passenger's seatbelt into the buckle on the driver's side. Always insert the tongue of the seatbelt into the buckle on the correct side. Do not make any damages on seatbelts nor insert any foreign objects into a buckle. The seatbelts and buckles would then possibly not func- tion as intended in the event of a collision. There is a risk of serous injury.
Warning symbol on the combined instrument panel
As well as the warning symbol, a message may appear on the information display in appropri- ate cases. If the warning symbol malfunctions, the warning triangle illuminates and SRS Airbag Service required or SRS Airbag Service urgent appears in the display. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop immediately.
Airbag system
The warning symbol in the combined instru- ment panel illuminates when the remote con- trol key is in key position II. The symbol clears after approx. 6 seconds provided the airbag system is fault-free.
WARNING
If the warning symbol for the airbag system remains illuminated or illuminates while driv- ing, it means that the airbag system does not have full functionality. The symbol indi- cates a fault in the seatbelt tensioner sys- tem, SIPS, the IC system or some other fault in the system. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop immediately.

Airbag system, right-hand drive car. The system consists of airbags and sensors. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the airbag(s) are inflated and become hot. To cushion the impact, the airbag deflates when compressed. When this occurs, smoke escapes into the car. This is completely nor- mal. The entire process, including inflation and deflation of the airbag, occurs within tenths of a second.
WARNING
Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop for repair. Defective work in the airbag system could cause malfunction and result in serious per- sonal injury.

Airbags
NOTE
Passenger airbag
The sensors react differently depending on the course of the collision and whether or not the seatbelts on the driver and passen- ger side are used. It is therefore possible that only one (or none) of the airbags may inflate in a colli- sion. The airbag system senses the force of the collision on the car and adapts accord- ingly so that one or more airbags are deployed. The capacity of the airbags is also adapted to the collision force to which the vehicle is subjected.
Airbag on the driver's side The car has an airbag to supplement the pro- tection afforded by the seatbelt on the driver's side. It is folded up into the centre of the steer- ing wheel. The steering wheel is marked AIRBAG.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If a seat- belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this may diminish the protection provided by the airbag in the event of a collision.

Location of the front passenger airbag in a right- hand drive car.
The car has an airbag to supplement the pro- tection afforded by the seatbelt on the passen- ger side. It is folded up into a compartment above the glovebox. Its cover panel is marked AIRBAG.
WARNING
The seatbelts and airbags interact. If the belt is not used or is used incorrectly, this may diminish the protection provided by the air- bag in the event of a collision. To minimise the risk of injury if the airbag deploys, passengers must sit as upright as possible with their feet on the floor and backs against the backrest. Seatbelts must be secured.
WARNING
Do not put objects in front of or above the dashboard where the passenger airbag is located.
WARNING
Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion in the front seat if the airbag is activated. Never allow anybody to stand or sit in front of the front passenger seat. No one shorter than 140 cm should ever sit in the front passenger seat if the airbag is activated. Failure to follow the advice given above can endanger life.

WARNING
Activating/deactivating
General information The airbag for the front passenger seat can be deactivated if the car is equipped with a switch, PACOS (Passenger Airbag Cut Off Switch). For information on how to activate/deactivate, see under the heading Activating/deactivating.
Key switch off/switch The switch for the passenger airbag (PACOS) is located on the passenger end of the instru- ment panel and is accessible when the pas- senger door is open (see under the heading below, Activating/deactivating). Check that the switch is in the required posi- tion. Volvo recommends that the remote con- trol key's key blade be used to change posi- tion. For information on the key blade, see page 48.
WARNING
Failure to follow the advice given above could endanger the life of passengers in the car.
If the car is equipped with a front passenger airbag, but does not have a PACOS switch (Passenger Airbag Cut Off Switch), then the airbag will always be activated.
WARNING
Never place a child in a child seat or on a booster cushion in the front seat if the airbag in the roof is activated and the symbol console is illuminated. Failure to follow this advice could endanger the life of the child.
WARNING
Do not allow anyone to sit in the front pas- senger seat if the message in the roof con- sole (see page 23) indicates that the air- bag is deactivated and if the warning sym- bol for the airbag system is also displayed in the combined instrument panel. This indi- cates that there has been a severe malfunc- tion. Visit a workshop as soon as possible. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
Switch location.
The airbag is activated. With the switch in this position, persons taller than 140 cm can sit in the front passenger seat, but never children in a child seat or on a booster cushion. The airbag is deactivated. With the switch in this position, children in a child seat or on a booster cushion can sit in the front passenger seat, but never persons taller than 140 cm.

Side airbags (SIPS bags)
Side airbag
In a side impact collision a large proportion of the collision force is transferred by the SIPS (Side Impact Protection System) to beams, pil- lars, the floor, the roof and other structural parts of the body. The side airbags at the driv- er's and front passenger seats protect the chest area and the hip and are an important part of the SIPS. The SIPS bag system consists of two main components, side airbag and sensors. The side airbags are located in the front seat back- rests.
WARNING
• Volvo recommends that repairs are only
carried out by an authorised Volvo workshop. Defective work in the SIPS- bag system could cause malfunction and result in serious personal injury.
• Do not put objects in the area between
the outside of the seat and the door panel, since this area is required by the side airbag.
• Volvo recommends the use only of car seat covers approved by Volvo. Other seat covers may impede the operation of the side airbags.

Child seats and side airbags The protection provided by the car to children seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion is not diminished by the side airbag. A child seat or booster cushion can be placed on the front passenger seat provided that the car does not have an activated1 passenger air- bag.

Inflatable Curtain (IC)
Properties
The inflatable curtain IC (Inflatable Curtain) is a part of SIPS and the airbags. It is fitted in the headlining along both sides of the roof and protects the car's occupants sitting in the outer seats. A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the inflatable curtain is inflated. The inflatable curtain helps to prevent the driver and passengers from striking their heads on the inside of the car during a collision.
26
WARNING
Never hang or attach heavy items onto the handles in the roof. The hook is only designed for light clothing (not for solid objects such as umbrellas for example). Do not screw or install anything onto the car's headlining, door pillars or side panels. This could compromise the intended pro- tection. Volvo recommends that you only ever use Volvo genuine parts that are approved for placement in these areas.
WARNING
Do not load the car higher than 50 mm under the top edge of the door windows. Other- wise, the intended protection of the inflat- able curtain, which is concealed in the head- lining, may be compromised.
WARNING
The inflatable curtain is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.
Protection against whiplash injury – WHIPS
The whiplash protection system (WHIPS) con- sists of energy absorbing backrests and spe- cially designed head restraints in the front seats. The system is actuated by a rear-end collision, where the angle and speed of the col- lision, and the nature of the colliding vehicle all have an influence.
Correct seating position For the best possible protection, the driver and front seat passenger should sit in the centre of the seat with as little space as possible between the head and the head restraint.
Do not obstruct the WHIPS system
01 Safety
WHIPS
01
WARNING
The WHIPS system is a supplement to the seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.
Properties of the seat When the WHIPS system is deployed, the front seat backrests are lowered backward to alter the seating position of the driver and front seat passenger. This reduces the risk of whiplash injury.
WARNING
Never modify or repair the seat or WHIPS system yourself. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
WHIPS system and child seats/booster cushions The protection provided by the car to children seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion is not diminished by the WHIPS system.
Do not leave any objects on the floor behind the driver's seat/passenger seat that may prevent the WHIPS system from functioning.
WARNING
Do not squeeze rigid objects between the rear seat cushion and the front seat back- rest. Make sure you do not to obstruct the function of the WHIPS system.
27
WARNING
If a seat has been subjected to extreme forces, such as due to a rear-end collision, the WHIPS system must be checked. Volvo recommends that it is checked by an authorised Volvo workshop. Part of the WHIPS system's protective capacity may have been lost even if the seats appear to be undamaged. Volvo recommends that you contact an authorised Volvo workshop to have the sys- tem checked even after a minor rear-end collision.

A The bodywork of the car could be greatly deformed in a col- lision without airbag deployment. A number of factors such as the rigidity and weight of the object hit, the speed of the car, the angle of the collision etc. affects how the different safety systems of the car are activated.
If the airbags have deployed, the following is recommended: • Recovering the car. Volvo recommends
that you have it conveyed to an authorised Volvo workshop. Do not drive with deployed airbags.
• Volvo recommends that you engage an
authorised Volvo workshop to handle the replacement of components in the car's safety systems.
• Always contact a doctor.
NOTE
The airbags and belt tensioner system are deployed only once during a collision.
WARNING
The airbag control module is located in the centre console. If the centre console is drenched with water or other liquid, discon- nect the battery cables. Do not attempt to start the car since the airbags may deploy. Recovering the car. Volvo recommends that you have it conveyed to an authorised Volvo workshop.

When the systems deploy
01
WARNING
Never drive with deployed airbags. They can make steering difficult. Other safety systems may also be damaged. The smoke and dust created when the airbags are deployed can cause skin and eye irritation/ injury after intensive exposure. In case of irritation, wash with cold water. The rapid deployment sequence and airbag fabric may cause friction and skin burns.

Safety mode
Driving after a collision
If the car is involved in a collision, the text Safety mode See manual may appear on the information display. This means that the car has reduced functionality. Safety mode is a protective state that is enforced when the col- lision may have damaged any of the car's vital functions, such as the fuel lines, sensors for one of the safety systems, or the brake system.
Attempting to start the car First, check that no fuel is leaking from the car. There must be no smell of fuel either. If everything seems normal and you have checked for indications of fuel leakage, you may attempt to start the car. Remove the remote control key and open the driver's door. If a message is now shown to the

effect that the ignition is on, press the start button. Then close the door and reinsert the remote control key. The car's electronics will now try to reset themselves to normal mode. Then try to start the car. If the message Safety mode See manual is still shown on the display then the car must not be driven or towed, but a vehicle recovery serv- ice used instead. Even if the car appears to be driveable, hidden damage may make the car impossible to control once moving.
Moving the car If Normal mode is shown after Safety mode See manual has been reset, the car can be moved carefully out of a dangerous position. Do not move the car further than necessary.
WARNING
Never attempt to repair your car or reset the electronics yourself if the car has been in safety mode. This could result in personal injury or the car not functioning as normal. Volvo recommends that you engage an authorised Volvo workshop to check and restore the car to normal status after Safety mode See manual has been displayed.

NOTE
WARNING
In the event of questions when fitting child safety products, contact the manufacturer for clearer instructions.
Do not secure the straps of the child seat to the seat's horizontal adjustment bar, springs or the rails and beams under the seat. Sharp edges may damage the straps.
Child seats
Child seats and airbags are not compatible.
NOTE
When using child safety products it is important to read the installation instruc- tions included.
Look in the installation instructions for the child seat for the correct fitting.
Location of child seats You may place: • a child seat/booster cushion on the pas- senger seat, provided the passenger air- bag is not activated1.
• one or more child seats/booster cushions
in the rear seat.
Always fit child seats/booster cushions in the rear seat if the passenger airbag is activated. If a child is sitting on the front passenger seat then he/she could suffer serious injury if the airbag deploys.
Children should sit comfortably and safely Volvo recommends that children travel in rear- facing child seats until as late an age as pos- sible, at least until 3-4 years of age, and then front-facing booster cushions/child seats until up to 10 years of age. The position of a child in the car and the choice of equipment are dictated by the child's weight and size, for more information, see page 32.
NOTE
Regulations regarding the placement of children in cars vary from country to coun- try. Check what does apply.
Children of all ages and sizes must always sit correctly secured in the car. Never allow a child to sit on the knee of a passenger. Volvo has child safety equipment (child seats, booster cushions & attachment devices) which is designed for your particular car. Using Vol- vo's child safety equipment provides you with optimum conditions for your child to travel safely in the car. Furthermore, the child safety equipment fits and is easy to use.

Correct position, the seatbelt should be posi- tioned in on the shoulder.
Stage 1
Pull the handle forward and up in order to
release the booster cushion.
The booster cushions are specially designed to provide optimum safety. In combination with the seatbelt they are approved for children who weigh between 15 and 36 kg and who are at least 95 cm in height. Check before driving that: • the integrated 2-stage booster cushion is
correctly set (see table page 36) and in locked position
• the seatbelt is in contact with the child's
body and is not slack or twisted
• the seatbelt does not lie across the child's throat or below the shoulder (see preced- ing illustrations)
• the lap section of the seatbelt is positioned low over the pelvis to provide optimal pro- tection.
For instructions on adjusting the booster cush- ion's two levels, see pages 36–37.
Raising the two-stage booster cushion The integrated booster cushion can be folded up into two stages. How many stages the cush- ion should be folded up depends on the child's weight.
Incorrect position, the head restraint must be adjusted as high as the head and the seatbelt must not be below the shoulder.
